Weird NFL Stats

After 11 weeks only two quarterbacks have more passing yards than Carson Palmer (3,035). Drew Brees (3,066) and Matt Ryan (3,072) are the only two that rank higher than the 32 year old USC grade. Palmer played in 10 games last season. He went 199 for 328 (60.7%) with 2,753 passing yards and 13 touchdowns to 16 interceptions. This season he is 252 for 415 (60.7%) with 3,035 passing yards and 17 touchdowns to just 11 interceptions.

This past week RG3 and Alfed Morris became the first ever rookie QB/RB duo to rush for at least 500 yards each.

Of the quarterbacks with at least 100 pass attempts Peyton Manning leads the league in yards per pass attempt with an 8.0 average. It is the third highest of his career. He is also on pace to throw 38 touchdowns this season. That would be the second highest total of his 14 year career.

Doug Martin has exactly 1,000 rushing yards this season. That's the 11th most in any single season by a Buccaneers' player. He needs exactly 301 more rushing yards to have the 2nd highest single season rushing total in franchise history. That's the equivalent of 50.2 yards per game for the next 6 games. He needs 545 more rushing yards to have the franchise record for rushing yards in a single season. That is the equivalent of 91 yards per game for the next 6 games. In doing so he would break James Wilder's record of 1,544 yards set back in 1984.
